Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There's a lot of music, always.

You shouldn't let poets lie to you.

I don't expect people to get me. That would be quite arrogant. I think there are a lot of people out there in the world that nobody gets.

There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews.

I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It's an emergency.

I've always had as many powerful, creative ladies in my life as I have men, and you could probably describe some of those relationships as romantic. I think everyone's bisexual to some degree or another; it's just a question of whether or not you choose to recognise it and embrace it. Personally, I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You'd be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavours.

There's so many songs about heartbreak that exist this in the world, because music is somehow the perfect medium to express something like this.
